Relief among Dragonkin by Prometheus

#HuntersGift #Kalseru #JuLong #dragokin #brother #sister #landscape

It had been a little over year since the day P2 came to the realm where the Dragonkin lived. Together with Kuruki, Captain Sala, Ellior, and from an unsuspecting ally of the Noir Knights, Levan, they took on the nefarious Noir Knights, saving little Blast in the process.

News quickly spread about how Lady Kuruki worked with a human, which caused some stir amongst the Dragonkin. ( cont. )

They started to wonder if some humans were.. ok to talk to? Obviously there were still doubts, but the ripple was felt from both sides alike.
A few would start to sneak to human settlements, talking with some to see for themselves.
Some Dragonkin still felt cautious and bitter towards humans, but one couldn't blame them, really.

However, the next bit of news really through the Dragonkin for a loop; And that was that she sometimes went in a date with P2. A human of all people! :0

This caused a LOT of talk among them, some them becoming more brave to repair the bridges burnt down with humans again. ( cont. )

And humans, though timid at first, became a little more trusting. Albeit still a little cautious.

This eventually reached Goliath's settlement. Most of the ones there were surprised and a bit excited. Among those was Kalseru. It felt as if a weight had been removed from her chest. She was concerned about how she and the human Coordinan would be able to blossom their relationship under previous circumstances. But now it felt like things would be better. Or at least, the majority of it was. Spending time with her brother, she wondered when he would appear again.

From above the trees somewhere nearby flashed a bright blue light followed by a figure screaming and falling into those trees and seemingly bouncing off their branches before hitting the ground face first.

Coordinan: Ah this thing should of had came with an instruction manual of sorts.
.
He says this as he lifts his goggles from his eyes and the cylinder shaped artifact that was in his hand. As he was examining it more three lights come zooming out of his bag while chasing each other.

Flix 1: Hahaha!
Flix 2: I'm going to kill you!
Flix 3: G-Guys we shouldn't be out here!

Coordinan: Flo, Bo, Moe, what are you three doing out here and where's Mana?

Flo: She's so busy right now trying to get everything inside situated to the point even we were able to get out without her noticing! *he dodges Bo as he comes charging at him*

Coordinan: Should I be worried about those two.

Moe: It's alright, Bo will get over the matter..eventually. So did that what's a macallit worked how you want it to?

Coordinan: I don't know, it's supposed to take me to the different dimensions that I've already been to but we won't know if it did by just standing around here.

@ShihouxAdventure

-The two heard the distant yelling and were pretty startled, mostly Kalseru.
Ju-Long reassures his sister, and motions her to wait there while he checks it out.
Extending his dragonic aura wings, he flies over to the spot where they heard the noise and spots Coordinan and the Flix.
He lands down next to him-

Ju-Long: ...Coordinan? Was that you??

ShihouxAdventure

30 Jul, 2021, 11:20 pm

Coordinan: Oh hey Ju-Long, I haven't seen your familiar face in awhile. I must of been causing a lot of racket for you to be showing up so quickly which by the way wasn't my intention.

Prometheus

31 Jul, 2021, 12:28 am

@ShihouxAdventure

Ju-Long: It was very loud, it startled Kalseru. 'o' ...She was speaking about you, something happened while you were away. Something that she would like to talk to you with. Will you come with me?

-Coordinan can choose to walk back with Ju-Long, or he can ride with him via flight. Which does he choose?-

ShihouxAdventure

31 Jul, 2021, 1:18 am

Coordinan: It's good to know that I'm still relevant to your sister to the point she talks about me and sure I'll come along but why don't we walk back instead of taking the faster way, I'm pretty excited to see Kalseru again and curious to know what she has to say but I want to get the chance to catch up with you and the rest as well.

Coordinan proceeds to walk in the direction that Ju-Long came flying from while the three Flix that were present as well quite down as they listened closely to the two's conversation.

Prometheus

31 Jul, 2021, 5:06 am

@ShihouxAdenture

-With a nod, Ju-Long leads Coordinan towards the direction he came from. The quiet one musters up some words to say to the man-

Ju-Long: ...Oh yes. You were not here for this, but there was some news from the southern lands. A rescue mission was inacted on Noir Castle, stronghold of the Noir Knights. It was led by my younger sister, Sala, as well as her second-in-command, Ellior, Dragon Stone Guardian, Kuruki, and shockingly a human, going by the name of Prometheus.
The team up was a success, and caused a stir amongst Dragonkin everywhere in this region. It would seem as though they are giving humans another chance, seeing as how one risked his life to ensure their safety. ...And humans have been looking our way again, and not in disgust or fear.

-As he talked, they soon came over a hill and saw Kalseru patiently waiting, sitting in the grass stroking her hair-

ShihouxAdventure

31 Jul, 2021, 12:47 pm

Coordinan: Wow and all of this went down during the time I was gone, that's crazy. Looks like your Guardian and this Prometheus guy inspired the humans and Dragonkin alike more than I possibly could of during that time, well at least that's one more thing that I won't have to worry about often.

Laying eyes on Kalseru after so long, even though it's only been a year, had his heart fluttering the same way as it has back then. He hasn't felt this way with any other girl besides her since leaving, her attractive appearance and sweet personality was always lingering in his mind.

Coordinan: *gulps* H-Hey Kalseru, do you remember me!?

Prometheus

31 Jul, 2021, 5:15 pm

@ShihouxAdventure
-Kalseru stops when she hears the familiar voice and turns around-

Kalseru: ! C-Coordinan! You are alright after all! :'o

-Forgetting about her strength, she lifts him off the ground, and pulls him into a long, and tight embrace. Ju-Long taps her shoulder to let her know to not squeeze too tight, and she relents-

Kalseru: I am relieved you're ok! Many things have transpired here while you were away. Some for the better!
Ju-Long: ..I have mentioned the assault, but I thought you might want to tell him about the other findings...

Kalseru: Yes, yes! You are most considerate, brother. ^-^ In addition to that, the Guardian has mentioned that she has found love in the human that assisted her. Can you not believe this?? x3 I was worried that it may recieve negativity, but this sparked more interest amongst the other Dragonkin! The Guardian's work and her influence has helped others try to establish relationships with humans!

ShihouxAdventure

31 Jul, 2021, 10:45 pm

Coordinan is hunched over a bit trying his best to catch his breath after having his body pushed up against Kalseru so tightly, she's his delicate flower that he sworn to protect but even so he keeps forgetting time and time again that her strength is leagues above his. Flo was having the time of his life giggling on the sidelines because of that display of affection before being shut up by the other two Flix.

Coordinan: So..seeing humans and Dragonkin together is about to become the norm again, that's good to hear but there's one thing that's still on my mind and this has been the case of most of your people's misery. What happened to the Noir Knights because I feel as if some of them aren't going to let this slide so easily.

Prometheus

01 Aug, 2021, 12:51 am

@ShihouxAdventure

Kalseru: Yes.. the Noir Knights... *folds hands together* They still haven't given up, unfortunately. Their king, Farlett, still has some humans listening to his lies about us.
Ju-Long: ...Though now they are frightened to attack us as much. The Guardian, Kuruki the Red, has underwent some special training. ..She can take on Noir Knights despite dragonsbane being present.

Kalseru: I-Indeed..! She is truly amazing! Because of that, most of what they can do, to her at least, is useless. So we can be together without worry for the most part!

-Kalseru still looks a bit worried, but she's a lot more relieved than she was before-

ShihouxAdventure

01 Aug, 2021, 4:17 am

Coordinan: Well that's wonderful to hear that you all aren't on edge as much as you were before, it's about time that you've got the peace that you worked for so long to achieve. It's been a wild ride for me since I left this place, so it's good to be back and have a nice change of pace.

He grabs and cherish Kalseru's hands while looking her straight in the eye.

Coordinan: Kalseru I am really..really really really sorry for leaving you behind and not being there for when you probably needed me, I felt horrible for leaving you guys during does moments.

Prometheus

01 Aug, 2021, 7:34 am

@ShihouxAdventure

Kalseru: It has been a strange but exciting time for us. I'm just relieved that everyone is starting to settle down. ^-^

-She looks back at Coordinan with a gentle, reassuring smile-

Kalseru: You needn't worry about me, Coordinan. I know that your travels are important. c: I will always be here to wait for you, whenever you decide to see me.

-She bestows a kiss on his forehead, her eyes looking back into his-

ShihouxAdventure

01 Aug, 2021, 8:30 am

Coordinan: Your such an understanding girl, speaking of which during my time out there I was thinking about..staying here with you. No more big travels across other worlds from me for a good while.

Flo: WHAT, we didn't hear anything about this!

Moe: It's his choice to do what he wants.
.
Flo: But I like being apart of saving the world, the thrill of going up against our enemies, and messing around with the trinkets that are put inside the bag!

Boe: Oh so you can break them!?

Coordinan just sighs from the outburst and the three Flix that began to bicker with each other over his choice and they're own problems.

Prometheus

01 Aug, 2021, 8:12 pm

@ShihouxAdventure

-Kalseru's eyes widened at his words. Her mind races of what he could've meant by it, but it's Ju-Long who, shockingly, breaks that little bit of silence-

Ju-Long: ...Are you asking for Kalseru's hand in marriage, then?

Kalseru: o///o B-B-BE SILENT!! Y-you are mistaken!

Ju-Long: ^^' But it seems more logical as to why he would want to stay here with you, right?

Kalseru: *rubs her arm in an embarrassed manner* ...I-I don't know.. What are your intentions, Coordinan?

ShihouxAdventure

01 Aug, 2021, 9:01 pm

Coordinan blushes more than he already was after that comment from Ju-Long, his words got caught in his throat and he struggles to come up with what to say next.

Coordinan: Y-Y-You got it wrong, that's not the reason why I said that..I haven't even thought that far yet. We're a couple right, well before we can even talk about marriage we have to build up our already existing relationship and I can't do so with you if I'm always far away during my adventures. Besides most times there's no guarantee that I'll be able to make it back to you or that you would still be interested in me in those long spans of time. That's the only reason I said those things!

Prometheus

03 Aug, 2021, 7:44 am

@ShihouxAdventure

Kslseru: S-see?? Haha, you were mistaken! :'D

Ju-Long: ...That was embarrassing. My apologies for jumping to conclusions. ^^'

Kalseru: It's ok, dear brother. :'o Do not be hard on youself. *Turns to Coordinan* Still... If you want to spend more time here, with us.. With me, *ahem* then I will gladly accept. Though I will have to apologize in advance for Harane if she acts still stand off-ish. Though she has heard the news, she is still struggling internally of whether she'll give humans another chance, too.

ShihouxAdventure

03 Aug, 2021, 1:06 pm

Coordinan: She can't make an exception for me and here I thought the two of us made some sort of connection during my time in your home.

He says this sarcastically after reflecting on the moments when he was around Harane, he has tried to make friends with her in the past but for the most part it didn't seem to work out on multiple occasions no matter what he did. He was kind of hoping she'll be a lot warmer towards him the next time they meet, but if she's still the same as she was a year ago then he's definitely dreading the experience.

Coordinan: Also Ju-Long I like that your talking more around me, you use to be pretty quiet at least when I was in the same area as you. You've brought up something that I do need to think about though, Kalseru whenever your ready to..get married..do you truly want that person to be me?

Coordinan moved his gaze towards the side so he didn't have to look Kalseru in the face as she came up with an answer, he also starts to rock back and forth to kind of ease that rising anxiety of his.

Prometheus

03 Aug, 2021, 11:47 pm

@ShihouxAdventure

Ju-Long: Y-yes, well... I do speak sometimes. But I have to admit, your pressence is relaxing to be around.
And I would not worry of Harane. ^^' ..I would try again, especially now.

-Upon hearing that from Coordinan, Kalseru blushes, wringing her hands nervously-

Kalseru: ..I-I was going to ask that about you..! Look at me, I've inherited the Omen Dragon's power.. Being with me, it'd be dangerous. My emotions could flare up, and I'd-!!

Ju-Long: Enough. ...You are too hard on yourself, sister.

ShihouxAdventure

04 Aug, 2021, 2:26 am

Coordinan: Even so I'm still fine with the idea of marrying you, I plan on staying by your side and supporting you during the good and bad. Also have more faith in me, I've been staying with some pretty powerful people every now and then so I'm sure I can live beside your Omen Dragon powers whenever they go off and who knows I probably have something in my bag to help do so.

Prometheus

04 Aug, 2021, 5:49 am

@ShihouxAdventure

-Kalseru fidgets a bit-

Kalseru: ...I pray for your sake you do.. Despite all of what I said, you still would stay with me? .. *sniff*! That makes me happy.. :')

Ju-Long: ^-^

Kalseru: *Wipes her eye* W-well then, should we head back home? I'm sure everyone would love to see you again, Coordinan.

ShihouxAdventure

04 Aug, 2021, 10:38 am

Coordinan: I'm looking forward to seeing them as well, but just give me a moment right quick.

He goes back to retrieve the three small members of his family who were still flying around arguing with each by quick clapping his hands together while they were gathered up, it's annoying that the three of them can always find a reason to argue but they mean well to each other and himself.
.
Coordinan: Just let that conversation go you three, I'll explain to you why I made that decision later since you missed that part.

He makes it back to the two Dragonkin ready to leave the area.

Prometheus

04 Aug, 2021, 9:43 pm

@ShihouxAdventure

-With a smile, the two Dragonkin lead Coordinan back to their settlement.
When they arrive, many Dragonkin are walking around, and surprisingly, some humans! Seems like they're conducting some trades with them.
Children are running having the time of their lives-

Kalseru: I never thought this day would come.. :') Look at their faces...

Ju-Long: ..Haha. ^-^

Doryu: One side, coming through! ^o^ *Zooms by them with some children chasing him*

Kid 1: Hey, wait up! :D

ShihouxAdventure

05 Aug, 2021, 12:13 am

Moe: Ah there are a lot of Dragonkin here along with a few humans, it's more then I thought would be here.

Flo: And look at all the neat stuff their selling *sniff sniff* they also have stalls with FOOD! *takes off*

Bo: *holds onto Flo tightly* Oh no, not this time!

Flo: Awww

Coordinan: Whoa this place is still bustling, feels even more so then usual and was that Doryu just now?! I could hardly tell.

Prometheus

05 Aug, 2021, 4:46 am

@ShihouxAdventure
Kalseru: Indeed. He has gotten quite fast. ^-^ I'm glad he has made new friends in humans.

Ju-Long: I agree-

-Just then, Scizwryn touches down from flying in. His sudden pressence startles a few peoole, but with his smile, they calm down-

Sciz: There you are, father's looking for you, Ju! We- *Looks over his shoulder* Oh you, you're Coordinan! Good to see you again, comrade! >:D I hope you haven't gotten soft during your time away from us!

ShihouxAdventure

05 Aug, 2021, 10:34 am

Coordinan: I would say I'm far from it, I've been on my toes since I left! It's good to see your face again though Scizwryn, that energy of yours is infectious. *he wraps a arm around Sciz's shoulder*

Prometheus

05 Aug, 2021, 5:44 pm

@ShihouxAdventure

-Scizwryn does the same, laughing heartily-

Sciz: Bwahaha, that's what I like to hear! Good seeing you again, Coordinan! >:D

Ju-Long: ...What did you say father wanted?

Sciz: ...Huh? OH! Merchants are coming to trade fabric, we are to show them the way! I'll catch up with you later, comrade!

-With that, Ju-Long and Sciz sprout their aura wings, and take off. In a sense, now Coordinan and Kalseru are alone amongst the crowd of people-

Kalseru: Bombastic as ever, Scizwryn. xD So, shall we see what the humans brought us? Or is there something you'd like to do?

ShihouxAdventure

05 Aug, 2021, 7:28 pm

Coordinan: Huh I'm not really in a rush to do anything in particular, I'm just going with the flow as we go along. Honestly as long as I get to spend today together with you alone or not then I'm pretty content.

He grabs a hold of her hand to share some kind of physical affection with her.

Coordinan: But now that you said something I wonder if I can find somewhere to stay, I could go into my bag but on certain days it's hard to make a nice soft palette for myself to sleep in along with the fact there's no food inside and I don't want ya'll to deal with the burden of me staying at your castle again.

Prometheus

06 Aug, 2021, 6:12 am

@ShihouxAdventure

Kalseru: o//o Well I-

Harane: ...Oh. So that's why you were long to return home.

Kalseru: H-Harane! I did not think you were around here at this time!

Harane: ...I was. Just looking around, checking out the humans.

Kalseru: Harane, do you really think they'd try something underhanded even here??
Harane: ...Maybe. I'm especially keeping an eye on that "ex" Noir Knight. Sala says he's fine, but.. Nevermind that. *Looks at Coordinan* What brings you back to our family?

ShihouxAdventure

06 Aug, 2021, 1:07 pm

He starts counting his fingers as he listed his reasons for being in Harane and her family's presence.

Coordinan: Uh myself, a unique artifact, me wanting to catch up with you and your folks, and~ your sister. Yep I think that about covers it.

Prometheus

06 Aug, 2021, 9:28 pm

@ShihouxAdventure

Harane: Uh-huh.. But I bet my sister is more important than catching up with us, right?

Kalseru: Th-that's not true! o///o

Harane: But you're not complaining, are you, older sister? c:<

Kalseru: >///<'

Harane: Still, I guess you do smile more when he's around. So you two do what you want. I need to go back to watching Mr. "Ex" Noir Knight.
-Harane goes back into the crowd, seemingly blending in to the point where they lose sight of her-

Kalseru: ...S-she seems more relaxed around you now. :'D As for our dwelling, we have more than enough room if you would like to rest for a while. My room alone is big enough for five others at least, haha.

ShihouxAdventure

07 Aug, 2021, 1:41 am

Coordinan: I was expecting her to say something negative about me like she usually does, maybe she forgot to do so now that she's more focused on this Noir Knight that she was talking about. Ether way it was nice to actually have a decent chat with her, I'm feeling even better already after that!

He takes a big stretch towards the sky after having one of his main two worries being lifted off his shoulders.

Coordinan: If you say that it's fine for me to stay at your place again then I'll gladly take you up on that offer, also..*blushes* are you suggesting me to sleep with you?

The young man felt the need to point out how Kalseru mentioned the size of her room even though she didn't have to add that extra information.

Prometheus

07 Aug, 2021, 11:22 pm

@ShihouxAdventure

Kalseru: Hehe, who knows? But I am glad she didn't say anything hurtful to you this time as well.
-Upon hearing his question, her face drops from relieved to embarrassed-

Kalseru: I-I-I-I was just saying..! R-r-room isn't an issue here! Besides-! You do not wish to sleep outside no matter what you pull from your bag, do you not??? D///: I'm..! Oh dear...

-Kalseru struggles to find the words, but she winded and heated herself up so much, she needed to relax-

Kalseru: ...W-what I mean i-is.. I-if you do wish to s-stay in my room, there's p-plent of room...

ShihouxAdventure

08 Aug, 2021, 2:02 am

Coordinan tightly hugs Kalseru while also cuddling up to her in a way, he just felt the need to wrap himself around her after being exposed by her cuteness.

Coordinan: Aww you can be so adorable at times, I can't help but to hold you closely like this. A-Also sorry about getting you heated up like that, I interpreted that wrong and you know there's no reason for you to be nervous around me right? I'm not going to judge you harshly by any answer you may come up with.

Prometheus

08 Aug, 2021, 9:10 pm

@ShihouxAdventure

-The sudden hug also catches her off guard as her face turns even redder than it was before! Coordinan can feel her temperature rise to a bit hotter than a human's would, probably due to her dragonic powers-

Kalseru: P-please, I'm not that cute, r-really! >///< *looks down at him* B-but thank you..
Peddler: D'awww, lookit that. ^-^ To be young and in love again... <3

Kalseru: u///u

Peddler: Har har, you take care of the lass now, my boy. *Goes back into the crowd*

Kalseru: If... you do decide to, my door is open.. >///>

ShihouxAdventure

08 Aug, 2021, 10:51 pm

Coordinan: Thanks..I'll be sure to remember that. Say since we're talking about that why don't we stop at the castle before doing anything else that may come to mind.

He would like to get out of the populated streets before he embarrassed the two some more so he proceeded to walk towards the gigantic building while he latched his arm with Kalseru to gently guide her along. High above the couple were the three Flix who were turned into side line commentators during the two's chat in the street.
.
Flo: Look at our boy growing out of his shell of being the awkward nervous type like he was a year ago. I taught him that!

Bo: What are you going on about, you didn't teach him anything and besides he still holds those traits. There just not as noticeable as before.

Moe: I can kind of see that, come on let's keep up with them.

Prometheus

10 Aug, 2021, 12:54 am

@ShihouxAdventure

-Kalseru giggles at the Flix' conversation as they walk up towards the path to her family's dwelling. The air around them feels pretty light, feilling the would be couple with a small giddiness-

( Oof, this is taking long to load. I'ma make another part for this. *^* )
